she kept bringing up there a family so we shot like awkward family photo style lol

other than that i have been doing some automotive stuff also, just for fun building my portfolio.

Best of Tacoma

The past week i have been constantly shooting for the "best of Tacoma" issue for the weekly volcano. I got the call from Matt at the volcano on monday asking me if i want to do it, of course i said hell ya! crappy part was it was due that thursday.

anyways the Best of Tacoma issue for the volcano is a HUGE deal, they even have a party after to celebrate. ALSO this year its going to be in 3D!(thus the glasses) i had no idea they could do that with news paper printing... shows how much i know lol

So here are some of the photos. I can not say what categories they are in or what they won cause honestly i do not know, so just look around the photos lol. Also these places and people where voted on by you the public!

i was gonna put my experience at each place but in all honesty everyone was awesome and i had a GREAT time on this assignment and will def be stopping by these places again.

Wedding post 2

just finished going through pics from a wedding i shot last weekend. I will say it was one of the HARDEST weddings i have EVER shot, also one of the first weddings i have done alone. The wedding was during a hot day for the Tacoma/Auburn area a sweltering 85!!! lol It took place at there house in auburn kind of in there back yard and in there big red barn.

2 things that made this tuff were:

1. CRAZY super bright sun.
2. Location (yes the location was pretty but i think i have gotten spoiled with gardens and estates)

everyone was really nice to me and everyone else in helping out. I always have a good
time at weddings because its awesome meeting new people and people are "usually" in the best of moods!
